Spreading better solutions
Discover how we have strengthened health service delivery in our cities by identifying, engaging and mobilising the right experts at the right times.
Through this project with C/Can, we are looking to pioneer new protocols for early diagnosis, a new model for diagnostic pathways and a strong patient navigation program that will improve our service delivery and that can be scaled to other public hospitals in Brazil to benefit the maximum number of patients

This was the first time we had created an interdisciplinary team and worked with IAEA trained experts to complete an analysis over Asuncion’s nuclear medicine provision in the public sector. It addressed most of the shortcomings and includes recommendations to improve cancer diagnosis.
